Severity of Suicidal Ideation Matters: Reexamining Correlates of Suicidal Ideation Using Quantile Regression

Abstract

Our findings indicated that predictors of suicidal ideation differed in magnitude at varying levels of suicidal ideation. Implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

Ruminative responses to interpersonal precipitants mediate borderline personality disorder features’ effects on distress reactivity and recovery in daily life

“…This pattern of findings may help to clarify a mixed literature on the relationship between BPD and prolonged distress recovery (e.g., Feliu-Soler et al, 2013;Fitzpatrick & Kuo, 2015;Gratz et al, 2010;Jacob et al, 2009;Scheel et al, 2013): positive findings may reflect instances in which ruminative responses were deployed. Though less consistently linked to distress, psychopathology, and other negative outcomes than the brooding component of depressive rumination (e.g., Johnson et al, 2016;Rogers & Joiner, 2018;Treynor et al, 2003), the salubrious effect of self-reflection observed in this study suggests a potential adaptive value of self-focused attention. Further, our findings have treatment implications, as a number of interventions have been shown to reduce ruminative tendencies (Querstret & Cropley, 2013;Watkins et al, 2007), which are easier to modify than facets of personality (Magidson, Roberts, Collado-Rodriguez, & Lejuez, 2014).…”

To wit, our finding ruminative response inhibition among those with high self-reflection tendencies, in particular within a negative interpersonal context, is consistent with others observing a positive association between self-reflection and interpersonal effectiveness (Takano, Sakamoto, & Tanno, 2011).…”

Routinized Categorization of Suicide Risk into Actionable Strata: Establishing the Validity of an Existing Suicide Risk Assessment Framework in an Outpatient Sample

“…This possibility is evidenced by the high percentage of individuals with a previous suicide attempt in our sample (i.e., 22.79%). Evidence suggests that many risk factors demonstrate a stronger relationship with suicidal ideation at higher levels of ideation, with perceived burdensomeness exhibiting a particularly strong relationship with suicidal ideation at higher levels of suicidal ideation (Rogers & Joiner, 2017). Thus, if our sample had included more individuals with less severe suicidal symptoms, the relationship between perceived burdensomeness and DT suicide risk may have been even more comparable to the relationship observed in previous research (Chu et al, 2017).…”

The Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire: Statistical Considerations for Improved Clinical Application

“…Therefore, some of the participants we included in the current study overlap with other studies. Although some of these INQ data were used in 12 other publications (Anestis et al, 2018; Chu et al, 2017b; Hagan, Podlogar, Chu, & Joiner, 2015; Hames et al, 2015; Hawkins et al, 2014; Hom, Hames, et al, 2017; Rogers et al, 2017a; Rogers et al, 2017b; Rogers et al, 2018; Rogers & Joiner, 2016, 2018; Silva, Ribeiro, & Joiner, 2015), it should be noted that our participants’ data do not overlap with those used in primary 15-item INQ validation paper (Van Orden et al, 2012). Furthermore, the analyses that we conducted are unique to the current study and provide important clinical utility information with the most up-to-date data.…”
